Carte Noire is a very limited Ligurian drip oil, which is extracted using a special process. Only absolutely intact olives are used for this. After grinding them between granite stones, the paste is spread on mats. These are placed on top of each other, after which the olive oil thus obtained runs down without pressure and is collected there.

The result is a mild oil not without certain rustic notes, with a slight sweetness and hints of spices, almonds, pine nuts, apple and vanilla. Excellent for salads, for seasoning fresh cheeses, but also with white meat. SUPERIORE.DE
